Creation Date incorrect with OneDrive syncing about cryptomator

Download the vault in the remote PC and mount it with WebDAV.

@alanlee127 Can you elaborate this step? You already synced the vault to the remote PC, why do you need to download it again?

Additionally, can you check the following:

1. Place a file in your vault with a specific creation date (e.g. step 3 of the "Steps to Reproduce")
2. Use the reveal encrypted file feature to see the corresponding encrypted file
3. Note the creation date of the encrypted file
4. sync the vault to a remote pc
5. Check there the creation date of the encrypted file

Thank you so much for your reply!

Sorry if I didn't make it clear.
What I meant was that: I placed the file in the vault on OneDrive. After some time, I turned on the remote PC, signed in to OneDrive, and waited for it to finish syncing (what I referred to as "download").
Then I mounted the vault and checked the file, only to find that the file's creation date had changed to that very moment.

Here's the result of your instructions:

I placed a file in the vault with the creation date: 2024-03-11 02:11.
Using the reveal encrypted file feature, I found that the creation date was: 2024-03-11 02:11.
Then, after syncing to the remote PC with OneDrive, I found that the creation date of the encrypted file was: 2024-03-14 23:37 (which was the time I signed in to OneDrive).
Also, the creation date of the file on the remote PC was: 2024-03-14 23:37.

(FYI, I'm in the time zone of GMT+8)

Then, after syncing to the remote PC with OneDrive, I found that the creation date of the encrypted file was: 2024-03-14 23:37 (which was the time I signed in to OneDrive).

This seems more like an issue of OneDrive then of Cryptomator.

@alanlee127 Is the behavior the same when you are not using Cryptomator/only use OneDrive? I.e., when you place a file in OneDrive with a certain creation date, does the file have the same creation date on the remote PC after sync?

Hi, @infeo , sorry for late response.
I truly apologize. I tried it out and found that when not using Cryptomator, OneDrive also changes the creation date. It wasn't like this before, maybe I made some recent changes somewhere. It seems this isn't an issue of Cryptomator.
I'm sorry to have bothered you. Thank you so much for your nice reply.
